    Its just bad.

    Timothy Bottoms actually did a decent job with his original dialogue, given such a horrible script. But all of his dialogue that was recorded years later is absolutely horrid. And the other actors hammed it up big time. Lawrence Tierney is okay, but Musetta Vander has got to go.

    Rerez yall!

    • Trivia
      The game was initially planned as an interactive movie for the Jaguar CD, which was a console add-on for the Atari Jaguar. Due to the Jaguar CD's poor sales, the release of the game was canceled. About a year later, director Jeff Burr shot additional footage to make a full movie out of it. However, the film negatives were severely damaged during the cutting process, which led to the producers taking an insurance settlement and a cancellation of the project. Years later, development of the game was continued by restoring the footage and adding additional material, including new voiceover work by Timothy Bottoms. The game was eventually released in November 2021 for PC and modern game consoles.
